Kelso.
The Anglican Church and historic cemetery of Kelso are well worth a visit. Historic buildings include Kelsoville historic house which dates from 1840 and Woolstone House built in 1880. The Anglican Church, the oldest away from the Sydney coast, dates from 1835. It is a fine Gothic style red brick church. By the Macquarie River is the site of the former Chinese market gardens on the Macquarie River flats. Kelsoville, a fine Georgian house was built by Thomas Kite in 1840. Like many other eventual leaders of the Bathurst district Thomas Kite was transported as a convict in 1814. He was one of the group of convicts who worked under Cox whilst building the road across the Blue Mountains. Governor Macquarie gave Kite (and the others) a land grant of 80 acres on the Macquarie River flats in 1818. Kite married a 16 year old girl in 1820 when he was 30 years old. They had 9 children. Soon Kite had purchased a further 150 acres and become the licensee for the first hotel in the district. In that year the governor gave him a further grant of 640 acres for his hard work and advancement of the district and a team of four assigned convicts to work for him. His original house built in 1820 was incorporated into the new Kelsoville House which he built in 1840.By then had owned 50,000 acres of land. He had amassed 200,000 acres by the time of his death in 1850. He is buried in the Anglican cemetery at Kelso. It was one of his sons who built the Italianate style mansion of Woolstone in 1880. So a former convict became one of the great and owners of the district. The Anglican cemetery also contains the graves of one of the First Fleeters who arrived at Botany Bay in 1788.
4918 and 4501 prepare to head back to Sydney with the ARHS NSW 75th Birthday train. The two units had worked the train from Sydney to Bathurst that morning prior to the passengers heading to a celebratory lunch at the local club.
4918 would have been a regular visitor to Bathurst while in revenue service. The venerable GM seems to have fared better than the other reics from years past, which can be seen deteriorating in storage on an adjacent road.
The two week Illuminate Bathurst kicked off with the Bicentenary Night Illumination Street Festival. Illuminate Bathurst was displayed on the Court House, Carillon, TAFE Building, Ribbon Gang Lane and Pedrottas Lane from Saturday 9 May every evening for two weeks. All lighting was on rotation so you could walk and enjoy the Illumination at your own pace - on every night between dusk and 9pm, until Sunday 17 May. www.bathurst200.com.au/calendar-list/bicentenary-illumina...
Bathurst courthouse one overcast day back in February. I was playing around with rotating the frame, having been influenced by my artsy brother :)

Machattie Park, located in Bathurst, New South Wales, has a rich history dating back to the mid-19th century. Originally established in 1890, the park was named after Dr. Richard Machattie, a prominent local physician and Mayor of Bathurst. The park was designed in the Victorian era and features elegant wrought iron gates, formal gardens, pathways, and a picturesque bandstand. Over the years, Machattie Park has been a beloved community space, hosting events, concerts, and providing a tranquil oasis in the heart of Bathurst.
Honest Ed's is prominently located on the corner of Bloor and Bathurst Streets, running the whole length of the block. The exterior is covered with huge red and yellow signs advertising the name of the store, lit up like a theatre marquee. The store sign uses 23,000 light bulbs. The store consists of two buildings connected by a walkway that links up the west building on Markham Street and the east building on Bathurst Street. The interior is much more modest, with simple displays of low-priced merchandise, ranging from vacuum cleaners and winter coats to kitchenware, toys and grocery items. Much of the store's decor consists of posters and photos from old films and stage productions from Mirvish's theatres in Toronto and London, England, as well as of actors and musicians who performed in them (many of these inscribed to Ed Mirvish himself). Every piece of store signage is hand-painted. The outside facade is covered with humorous puns and slogans such as "Come in and get lost!" and "Only the floors are crooked!"
Bathurst skyline, shot across the harbour from Riverside Dr. Landmarks visible include Nicolas Denys building, the Old Post Office, the closed Chateau Bathurst and Sacred Heart Cathedral in the background.
There's also a flock of gulls on the ice, eating off the open water.
Dark sky was achieved with a circular polarizer, with some tweaking in Lightroom 4 to adjust the colours, and a few strokes of the Content Aware Healing to trim some branches.
